This is the one I know about. It has no numbers. You can start with A =1 if you need numbers.

It's probably a good thing that your image isn't showing up.

If I were you, I would edit it and remove it FAST. You might just get a forced vacation if you don't.

without knowing any more than what the OP wrote, I think between Michael and jholly, they have you covered. I have however seen a few different variations on the theme I just can't remember where. If I do i'll let you know.

Well, so much for the "bad form" argument.

What is the GC code for the cache you are referring to?

While I do agree that asking outright for help solving a puzzle, is indeed bad form. The OP never mentioned needing help solving a puzzle. What if the OP was trying to create a puzzle, and had seen the code somewhere and couldn't remember what it was called? I'm more than likely wrong, but at least it wasn't an outright puzzle solving request.

I think he's talking about this one. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...49-b36471e4445a

I solved it without the need for the cipher key (which obviously has nothing to do with the image above).

Looked at it. Solved it quickly enough. I don't ever say I'm good at puzzles (because I'm not), but you can assume half the numbers in this puzzle, and the rest are all duplicates of the ones you can assume. You don't even need a key.

Indeed, when two of the three numbers that have been obscured are in the Degrees portion of the co-ordinates then the one that is in the thousandths of minutes is not really important... However that was an easy puzzle cache.

 

I hope that the difficulty on that linked cache was not due to the puzzle difficulty.

 

My favourite puzzle cache so far has to be The Kakuro Puzzle Cache where getting the starting co ordinates is just the first part... It's a multi stage puzzle cache, and I had to phone for a hint on the final stage. I was in the right area but the cammo was just TOO good.

Obviously it is difficult There's only been one finder in over a year.

Could it be flag semaphore that you are thinking of?
